Minority Owned Craft Breweries

Who cares what nationality you are.... Beer is beer.

 

Omars parents are both immigrants, dads from Pakistan and moms from Germany if I remember right.

 

We're all minorities somewhere

 

Dude you just blew my mind.

 

Brooklyn I think. But really, craft is widely abailable for everyone. Funny generalization.

 

Especially when straight edge. Wait... What?

 

I think his point is that considering the proportions of the nationalities in the US, there should be quite a few more breweries by people who aren't white men... but (from what I can tell) there aren't. I think the question "Why is that?" is a pretty good one.

Also: Garrett Oliver from Brooklyn Brewery is the brewmaster, not the owner.

 

Red Peak is Native American owned.

 

well I guess we need affirmative action when it comes to breweries. This is a national disgrace.

 

goes back to history would make an amazing movie I'm sure.

 

"of, by and for the white man". wtf?

 

Minhas, if you consider them craft

 

I know of several, but I'll be damned if I'm going to help. Stupid fucking question. Why would someone care?

 

Not even in the 80s would I consider their stuff "craft"

 

2 things: 2, ya can't get that stuff off the rez, you know that bro. 1, Henry is going to kick your ass for this post. You know that too, right bro?

 

Brooklyn is owned by two upper middle class white dudes who left cushy jobs to open it (journalism when it actually made money and finance). Garrett Oliver, who is often the face of Brooklyn Brewery, is the brewmaster of Brooklyn. He may own a minority stake (no pun intended) now that he is such a visible part of the brand, but he was not an original owner. And through his individual efforts as a beer advocate (writer/speaker/brewer), he may be monetarily as compensated as the owners without any stake in the brewery.

Garret may not be a brewery owner, but he's a shining light on the craft beer scene to everyone, regardless of skin color (and sexual orientation, a separate discussion could be had for female or homosexual brewery owners).

 

While I would have phrased it differently I've been wondering the same thing myself and wish there was a way to have an actual discussion on this topic. Alas, given the responses of half the jokers posting here I'm not so sure. If I happen to see you guys at the bar no need to remind me I'm not welcome.

 

Men are the minority at 45% of pop., so almost every brewery in America is minority owned.

 

Fuck this race bullshit. We're all people, aren't we? Quit dividing, start drinking.
